There is an idea abroad among moral people that they should make their neighbors good. One person I have to make good: Myself. But my duty to my neighbor is much more nearly expressed by saying that I have to make him happy if I may.

To do exactly as your neighbors do is the only sensible rule.

I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.

I grew up in the Midwest, so I have sort of an honorable moral code. But I moved to a city and joined a sort of fast crowd. A lot of people who grew up in the city sort of aren't aware of manners and other ways of life and 'common decency.'

Love your neighbor as yourself; but don't take down the fence.

If you want to annoy your neighbors, tell the truth about them.

I do not want to suggest that you have to be religious to be moral.

Morality is only moral when it is voluntary.

Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.
